Federal Inmate Text Messaging

As technology filters into every aspect of our lives, prisons and jails are beginning to adopt new ways to communicate with family and friends. Federal inmate texting is one such innovation. Inmates can send messages to loved ones using a special device, which looks like an ordinary cellphone. It costs 10 cents for each message and has a federal inmate text messages 160-character limit. The device is simple for family members who wish to communicate with their incarcerated family members.

The devices, referred to as chirping devices (or chirping devices) do not permit prisoners to download apps, take photos and make phone or internet calls or browse the internet. Additionally, they aren't allowed to use stickers or Emojis. The device doesn't require pre-approval or phone minutes.

People who send messages may buy credits on the ConnectNetwork website. The prices for the messages differ by state and facility. To view the current rates, sign in to ConnectNetwork and then go to the messaging page for the person in custody you wish to talk to.

Prisoners can respond to messages either by handwriting an answer or responding electronically. Corbot can also be used to buy books. Corbot also has an Amazon feature that allows inmates to search for books based on title or author, and then search for an all-text version of the book.

It is important to remember that federal prisoners are subject to strict security procedures. Anyone who uses the service should always remain aware of their surroundings and should not share any information that is personal, such as the address or number or address with an inmate. They should also stay clear from any inmates who are not approved to participate in the program.
